It's a bittersweet time to remember someone who's been missing from our lives for several years.  I know her family has been missing her as well.  We're thankful for the time we had her with us and the times we got to share with her--going to an Angel's game for Mother's Day, enjoying Easter brunch with her and the family at her San Dimas home.  Thanks for the memories Jan.

Jan was the most caring person and she radiated joy when she was with her family and friends.  She and I shared many good memories at the LA County Fair.  As a teacher she worked hard to have her student's artwork shown there and recognized.  She shared our happiness at Kim's wedding, our 25th anniversary and again at her baby shower when she was expecting Grady.  

I was just thinking of Jan the other day!  It's hard to believe it's been 2 years today!  She was such a good friend and so thoughtful in her gift-giving, for our anniversary and Kim's baby shower and other times as well.  We've enjoyed our little jar of 25's and jewels several times~miss knowing she was there to call and visit with.
       Sincerely, Diane & Tom Mosier

Jan is definitely missed by family and friends! I often think about her and wish I could call and chat with her about our daughters and their families! Belated happy birthday in heaven Jan. We both have birthdays in August and September was our month to visit the LA county fair so I often think of her this time of year.  


My second share to use the photo of Jan and I together last April at Kim's baby shower which was held at Christine's house.  I first posted the picture of Kim with Jan and she wanted to use that one. 
Jan had a great smile and she was very generous with them.  We spent one Easter Sunday with their family at her home in San Dimas when Christine & Jeff's son was still a baby.  Another special memory was of Christine's baby shower that Kim planned and helped hostess at a cousin's home.  We were blessed to have Jan among us and to be able to call her friend.

There are so many wonderful memories with Jan.... baseball games, planning Christines bridal and baby showers together, my wedding and most recently my baby shower that she generously helped to put together. Jan always went above and  beyond for those she loved and she will be so dearly missed.  I will always think of you Jan when we wrap Grady in his beautiful baby blankets ☺️

Jan and I were friends because of our daughters, Kim and Christine. We also shared being teachers in elementary school in CA for many years. She was such a warm, genuine person and I enjoyed our trips to the county fair in Pomona each year to see how many ribbons her students had earned entering their projects in the art competitions.  We got to share each other's big moments for our daughters and she was so supportive and helpful the past two years through Kim's bridal shower, wedding and baby shower! It was the most I had gotten to see her for a few years since we no longer live in CA. 
We rekindled our friendship and got to share some special moments.  She will be deeply missed by friends as well as family.
